Would you look at that, another mass shooting with an AR-15 variant. Waffle House in Tennessee shot up by a naked guy, 4 dead. Read that he was a white nationalist, but only saw that once so far, so that's far from confirmed. James Shaw Jr. saw an opportunity while the shooter reloaded to tackle him and throw his rifle behind the counter of the Waffle House, shooter fled the scene and, last I read, is still on the run and may have two more firearms with him.

I'm pretty sure the rule is that it's too soon to talk about this one, but now it's probably safe to talk about the Marjory Stoneman Douglas one now, right?

This white nationalist isn't that happy with Trump either. Secret service had arrested him before and has lost his state right to own guns. Guns were supposedly transferred to his dad but apparently dad gave it back to the crazy son... which resulted 4 deaths.

Moral of the story?

We can have laws that ban all guns.

Crazies will still shoot up people for a while.

Of course this doesn't mean we should just pray and do nothing, just saying gun laws alone won't solve our mass shooting problem.

2nd amendment for sure further contributed to the problem, but deleting it won't really solve our problems anymore... sigh...

For this particular case, I do believe they also need to hold the gunman's father responsible.

During the confrontation, Minassian repeatedly drew his hand from his back pocket and pointed a cell phone toward the police officer as if it were a pistol. Officer Lam ordered Minassian to drop to the ground, while Minassian tried repeatedly to provoke the officer to kill him, saying "shoot me in the head!" when the officer warned him he may be shot. Lam then went to his cruiser and turned off its siren. As Minassian and Lam advanced towards each other, the officer recognized that the object in Minassian's hand was not a gun, holstered his pistol, and took out his baton. Minassian then dropped the object from his hand, went to the ground and surrendered to Lam. Minassian was arrested uninjured at 1:32 p.m

Canadian cops either have nerves of steel and very well trained or just very stupid.

Very low chance of this guy surviving in the US. Either the cops shoot him dead or he'll shoot himself dead or some bystander gun owner will shoot him dead.

Wonder what it's like in Canadian prison. In the US, surely he'll end up having some involuntary sex in there, but who knows, maybe Canadian prisoners are all very civil as well. What a difference a border makes...
